  • Engaging Titles for Teens

    Funded Jun 3, 2019

    Thank you so much for funding this project. My students will be so excited to have access to a variety of high interest novels. These books will add so much to our classroom library. Having this project funded is the good news needed to get us through the final week of school. We have something to look forward to when we come back in August.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Estep

  • Music on the Move! A Keyboard for Choir

    Funded May 26, 2013

    I cannot thank you enough for your contribution to my students and my music classroom. With little to no funding for new instruments or equipment, the keyboard received through this project was greatly needed and appreciated.

    The keyboard you helped purchase has affected my students in several ways. Many of them were overwhelmed to find out that people they've never met would be willing to help fund materials for their class. Their motivation also increased when given the opportunity to use the keyboard! So far, it has been used by students in choir, guitar, band, and general music :)

    Again, thank you for helping fund this project and for supporting music education!”

  • Strings for Strumming!

    Funded Apr 12, 2013

    I cannot thank you enough for your contribution to my students and my music classroom. With little to no funding for new instruments or repairs for existing ones, the strings and picks received through this project were greatly needed and appreciated.

    The materials you helped purchase have affected my students in several ways. Many of them were overwhelmed to find out that people would be willing to help fund materials for their class. Now that we have an adequate amount of strings, students no longer have to wait for replacements or share guitars with other students should a string break. This allows them to spend more time on their instruments which means more time spent learning.

    Again, thank you for helping fund this project and for supporting music education!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Estep

  • Using Guitars to Reach the Other 80%

    Funded Mar 13, 2013

    I cannot thank you enough for your contribution to my students and my music classroom. With little to no funding for new instruments or repairs for existing ones, the guitars received through this project were greatly needed and appreciated.

    The guitars you helped purchase have affected my students in several ways. Many of them were overwhelmed to find out that people would be willing to help fund new guitars. Their motivation also increased when given the opportunity to play these new instruments!

    Again, thank you for helping fund this project and for supporting music education!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Estep

I have personally purchased many things for my music classroom, such as music, strings, and other supplies in order to give my students the opportunity to have a hands-on musical experience. However, with twenty+ students per class, there are simply not enough instruments for everyone. I would like to give my students the opportunity to learn to play guitar and have a life-long enjoyment of music. Nationwide, only 20% (or less) of students participate in traditional performance groups. The other 80% can be reached by offering non-performance classes such as guitar.
